P RINCIPAL’ S PERSPECTIVE<br />

Chris Roff<br />

Principal<br />

Microsoft Global Forum<br />

Deb Brown and I have now returned from an awesome week in Washington DC, where<br />

we represented our school at the Partners in Learning Global Forum. It was huge - 700+<br />

delegates from 70 countries were present. The Australian contingent included primary<br />

schools from Victoria, West Australia, Tasmania and Queensland, but we were the only<br />

high school at the 2012 Pathfinder school level from Australia.<br />

The focus of the program is on innovation and with a conference theme of Your idea<br />

matter, we had many opportunities to share what we are doing here and to learn from<br />

world leading schools about their own journeys, trials and achievements. The structure<br />

of the program links three similar schools at the Pathfinder level with one school a year<br />

ahead, called a Mentor school.<br />

Our mentor school will be Botany Downs Secondary College in Auckland, NZ, motto:<br />

Knowledge with Character. Their school structure has classrooms built around a<br />

centralised shared space, where students can learn from a teacher, in groups or by<br />

using technology. This gives a focus upon individualised learning plans and activities.<br />

Our fellow Pathfinder schools are Sisler <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong>, in Winnipeg, Canada (1700<br />

students) and Lake Washington <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong>, USA (380 students). Both these schools<br />

have a very high focus upon the use of computer technology in their learning programs.<br />

However, we are the only school in our group who will have a 1:1 ratio of notebooks to<br />

students in 2012, so they also have a keen interest in our program and how it unfolds.<br />

<strong>No</strong>t only did we form good friendships with the representatives of these schools, but we<br />

also mingled with the other 60 Pathfinder schools, and the other 29 Mentor schools,<br />

learning about their programs and sharing ideas about the future of education. We were<br />

challenged to confront the fact that in a world where anyone can learn almost anything<br />

for free and where learners are increasingly mobile, networked, global and collaborative,<br />

we are in the actual moment of change - how we teach is not going to be how we taught.<br />

Keynote speakers included world leaders in education and global networking - inspiring<br />

would be an understatement. All this in a city of monuments and beauty, with a reception<br />

held at the American National History Museum and the final dinner at the American<br />

National Portrait Gallery - both part of the Smithsonian Museum, another key partner<br />

with Microsoft and their Partners in Learning program. Indeed the welcome speech was<br />

delivered by the chairman of the Smithsonian.<br />

So, back home, after a 26 hour journey, what does it all mean for <strong>Proserpine</strong> <strong>High</strong>?<br />

2011 Student Resource Scheme fees should now be paid in full.<br />

If this is not the case, please make payment an urgent priority.<br />

Student Portfolios will be issued to year 10 students on their last day of school, 25 <strong>No</strong>vember. As the portfolios are<br />

funded by the Student Resource Scheme, the resource scheme fees must be paid in full to be eligible to receive a<br />

portfolio.<br />

STUDENT RESOURCE SCHEME 2012<br />

The 2012 Student Resource Scheme package, including subject requirement list, has been distributed to students. If you have<br />

not received this package, please urge your student to collect the package from the school office. The cost of the scheme for<br />

2012 has remained at $220, as endorsed by the P&C Association.<br />

For ease of management of the Student Resource Scheme, for both administration and students, full payment of the<br />

resource fee by 10 February 2012 is the preferred option. If financial constraints do not permit full payment, term instalments<br />

of $55 are offered, to be paid in the first week of each term. Late payment will attract a $5 late payment fee. This fee is waived if<br />

the school has been contacted and a payment plan negotiated.<br />

Payment of the 2012 resource fee is now being accepted, with a large number of families taking the opportunity to pay early<br />

to alleviate the financial burden experienced at the start of a new school year.<br />

For convenience, the school offers automatic term deductions from credit cards. These payments of $55 are accessed at<br />

the start of each term by the school and receipts sent home via the student’s care group roll. Please complete the relevant<br />

section of the Participation Agreement Form, page 5 of the Student Resource Scheme package, if you would like to take advantage<br />

of this payment option.<br />

Internet banking is also a convenient method of making payment. The school’s banking details are outlined on the<br />

Participation Agreement Form (page 5). If choosing this method, it is important that the completed Student Resource Scheme<br />

Participation Agreement form with receipt of internet banking attached is returned to the school office.<br />

The school office will be closed from the end of school 2011 and re-open for business on Tuesday, 17 January 2012.<br />

RETURN OF TEXTBOOKS<br />

Parents and students are reminded that all textbooks, library books and other resources loaned to students under the Student<br />

Resource Scheme must be returned to the school before the student completes the 2011 school year. It is vital that every effort is<br />

made to return the resources to the school as purchasing replacements diverts funds away from other areas of need.<br />

Students are asked to return all resources to the LIBRARY by the day of their exam.<br />

Failure to return items on loan for 2011 will result in an invoice being issued for payment. Please assist by checking your<br />

student’s room and promptly returning all books to the school library.<br />

Your assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated.<br />

The Whitsunday Reef Festival Committee and Rotary Club of Airlie Beach would like to thank the enthusiastic<br />

students from our school who participated in the 2011 Rotary Wearable Art Awards event, both as designers<br />

or models. They were all excellent ambassadors for our school. Thanks to their efforts, the 2011 event was<br />

very successful.<br />

Would you like to be a VOLUNTEER?<br />

<strong>Proserpine</strong> <strong>State</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> would like to invite all new and existing parents of 2012 students to become a volunteer at our<br />

school canteen.<br />

We currently have a wonderful team of willing mums who assist our canteen convenors once a month in providing a<br />

convenient, profitable and healthy service to our school community.<br />

Our school canteen is a great place to meet new people. It’s a wonderful opportunity to meet your child’s teachers, school staff,<br />

as well as your child’s new friends and their families, all in the informal environment at the “hub” of the school.<br />

Unfortunately each year as our senior students move on, they take their mums (our volunteers) with them, so we are always<br />

grateful for some new year 8 parents to fill their shoes!<br />

We understand everyone is busy but, for as little as 2 hours, you will find volunteering extremely rewarding for both you and<br />

your child.<br />

If you would like to assist our volunteer team please call us on 4945 01<strong>19</strong>, pay us a visit between 7am—2pm or return the<br />

following form to the school office….<br />

sessions each group will hear from several mentors and have the opportunity<br />

to ask questions. All girls will complete a Martial Arts session which focuses on<br />

the self discipline and control in that sport. They will then have a choice in the<br />

afternoon from the workshops offered.<br />

Some of the afternoon activities include:<br />

Fashion/grooming<br />

Painting/artwork<br />

Photography<br />

Yoga and massage<br />

The Attorney-General, Paul Lucas, has launched a community awareness campaign on 8 <strong>No</strong>vember called Supplying Alcohol to<br />

Minors is no Minor Offence””.<br />

With <strong>School</strong>ies week and other end-of-year celebrations on the horizon, the campaign aims to promote our teenagers’ safety by<br />

reminding adults about the consequences of giving alcohol to minors.<br />

The Queensland-wide campaign is aimed at educating parents and adult friends and family of teenagers aged 14-17 about the<br />

risks and penalties of supplying alcohol to minors for unsupervised consumption. It conveys a clear message - adults shouldn’t<br />

give minors alcohol for unsupervised consumption. If they do, they could go to court and be fined up to $8000. Responsible<br />

supervision cannot be provided by any adult – it can only be provided by a parent, step-parent, guardian or adult who has<br />

parental rights and responsibilities for the minor.<br />

Page 5<br />

A key strategy of the campaign is to reach adults before they purchase alcohol for a minor and as such the campaign is focused<br />

at point-of-sale outlets including bottle shops and hotels where liquor products are sold over the counter. The campaign is also<br />

targeting accommodation venues in key <strong>School</strong>ies zones across the state. Further information for parents and adults is available<br />

through the website at www.olgr.qld.gov.au/consumers/responsible_drinking/secondary_supply/index.shtml.<br />

So what can parents do?<br />

Talk to your kids about the risks and consequences that can occur when drinking.<br />

Don’t be afraid to say no when your underage teens ask you for alcohol. You have a legal obligation not to give it to them if you<br />

are not able to ensure that it is being responsibly supervised.<br />

Check the information on this website under <strong>School</strong>ies which provides useful tips and topics to discuss with your children to help<br />

keep them safe and out of trouble.<br />

Even if your teenager is over 18 years, talk to them about drinking responsibly. Some tips on how to drink responsibly are also<br />

available on this website under Responsible Drinking””.<br />

Please carefully consider what this means for us as parents. It is not only our year 12s that are finishing school but our younger<br />

students that feel the need to celebrate the end-of-year. Please consider accessing the website or read the attached flyer if you<br />

require further information.<br />

Principal’s Perspective continued….<br />

We have a mountain of business cards, we will have access<br />

to rich veins of experience, ideas and big thinking, our teachers<br />

will have access to a series of Virtual University sessions with<br />

world leaders in education and as the year unfolds, I believe<br />

you will feel the powerful impact of eLearning in the way we<br />

teach, and the new ways in which our students will learn. If we<br />

believe that the future world will belong to those who can think<br />

creatively, adapt easily to change and solve as yet unknown<br />

problems in innovative ways, then the challenge for us as<br />

educators is to scaffold, support and encourage our young<br />

people to hone these skills. There are very exciting times<br />

ahead, as the journey has only just begun…<br />

Road Works<br />

Thanks to everyone for your patience whilst many roads in<br />

<strong>Proserpine</strong> are upgraded. The impact upon the school bus<br />

runs have been minimised, but obviously the works are<br />

causing difficulties with access and parking. As we all know,<br />

there is pressure to complete this work before serious rains<br />

begin and within the timeframe set for the expenditure of the<br />

grant funds paying for the improvements. When it is finished,<br />

Ruge Street will be greatly enhanced, which will improve the<br />

presentation of our school.<br />

A few weeks left….<br />

To all remaining students, I urge you to make the most of the<br />

lesson time remaining and to maximise your achievement<br />

results. Students should remain in regular attendance until<br />

their official last days. Year 10 and 11 is Friday 25 <strong>No</strong>vember<br />

and the school year ends for all on Friday 9 December. There<br />

are worthwhile programs for all students until the end of the<br />

year, so please support our efforts by ensuring your child<br />

attends regularly until their last day.<br />

Kind regards to all - the packing is looking daunting!!<br />

CHANGES TO SCHOOL HOLIDAYS<br />

After an overwhelming response to its recent survey on<br />

proposed holidays, the Queensland Government is introducing<br />

changes to make our work-life balance even better.<br />

The Queen’s Birthday holiday will be moved from June to the<br />

first Monday in October with a one-off Queen’s Diamond<br />

Jubilee holiday to be held on the June long weekend in 2012.<br />

This means in 2012 the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee holiday is<br />

on Monday 11 June and the Queen’s Birthday holiday on<br />

October 1.<br />

Student free days will be shifted to create a two-week break<br />

at Easter—making it easier to plan a break, keeping the length<br />

of school terms more consistent and easing disruption for<br />

families.<br />
